Last night, I went to visit the Liverpool Signing Choir, and to see them rehearse at Broad Green School. I was so impressed with the choir, and really enjoyed seeing them perform. I particularly enjoyed their rendition of Search for the Hero, by M people.
The signing choir brings together children from schools across Liverpool. It is made up of around 100 young people aged from 6 to 24, who are a mixture of profoundly deaf, hard of hearing and fully hearing.
The choir have also said they would like to perform at one of the ceremonies of the 2012 Olympics.
I will do whatever I can to support them in this bid – they’ve already played at Wembley (before the England v France under-18 international in June 2009) and at Anfield (at last year’s service to commemorate 20 years of the Hillsborough disaster).
They’ve played on the big stage before, and I think they’d do Merseyside and the country proud if given the chance at the Olympics.
